What is BOTOX®?
BOTOX® is a safe and effective medication that is injected into wrinkle lines using a tiny needle. It is specially formulated with a purified protein, which relaxes the muscles when injected in the targeted area, ultimately reducing the appearance of fine lines and facial wrinkles. A topical anesthetic can be used to make the procedure more comfortable.
FDA approved, BOTOX® is a safe and effective procedure that provides patients with results that can last on average from anywhere between 3 to 5 months.
Benefits of BOTOX®
BOTOX® is a minimally invasive procedure, and allows patients to return to normal daily activities the same day. BOTOX® can drastically minimize the appearance of:
- Fine lines
- Facial wrinkles
- Frown lines
- Crow's feet
In addition to removing the wrinkles of time, BOTOX® can brighten up your attitude and outlook by making small improvements in an otherwise perfect face.
What to Expect After Your Injections
Following the BOTOX® procedure it is not uncommon to experience some minor swelling, redness or bruising around the targeted site. These effects, should they occur, are temporary and usually disappear within a few weeks.
